Just no motorized system, that stuff is expensive. I just did mine by hand. Not the most effective, but it works fairly well.

well it looks like it works great for you. That's still a nice set up too! I've got friends with home made set ups consisting of PVC pipe, skateboard wheels, and whatever else was laying around the garage

yeah some buddies of mine have a piece of a home roof gutter the use with skateboard wheels and a piece of aluminum. I'd have the time to go through the process of what works and what doesn't. It was just easier to by that Konova rig.

In your wife's vid at around 2:40, do you make shots like that by hand or do you have some sort of rig on rollers the camera is mounted to? They do some pretty cool time lapse shots like that at our shop when filming with a motorized belt driven rig that slides that camera while taking pics.

Awesome stuff, I wanted to ask the same question when I saw that portion of video
